On my mother and nanowrimo
Syrinx and I are sort of competing this year to see who wins NaNoWriMo. This'll be my 5th year participating, and I've never won before, but fifth time's the charm... I'm pretty sure I've read that somewhere. Probably the Bible. Sure, why not

And, actually, that's really true of Amir. I feel like I'm ignoring him as I'm typing away. He's all, "What are you doing?" about every half hour or so, and it breaks my concentration. And last night we had a get together with his friends until late.
Not that I'm blaming Amir for my lagging behind LOL

My mom and I are still laughing about that convo. It's like, I say, "I'm beating Sherry at writing fast!" She says, "That's probably because she has a real job, a husband, and lives in her own apartment." WTF?
Anyway, I'm all on the edge of my seat to see who Seema ultimately falls for. Make with the clickity-click-click, and I'll attempt to do the same.

I'm still laughing about this, too. I told my mom about it, and she found it hilarious :-)
Better not tell Amir I'm kinda-sorta-not really blaming him. I, uh, told him I'd do better at NaNoWriMo if he would finish his term paper. (He wanted to drop a class, found he couldn't and then declared he'd fail and retake the class. I flipped out when I found out it would cost $1,400 to retake the class when he still has a possibility of passing. He just doesn't want to write the paper. So I made a bargain with him, too. Oops.)

I think that would be a great way to be accountable, and I can find out where Amir got his program that blocks Internet surfing for 15-30 minutes.
He is done with his bachelor's and his first master's, but he signed up for a second to keep him in the country before we got married. He's going to take a semester or two off, but he's got to get done with this class, which he hates. It's online, so it's actually more work than the in-class one. But as many money problems as we're having now, it's hard for me at least to justify us paying another $1,400. However, I can totally understand how frustrated he is. He's been going to school for about 8-9 years and is beyond burned out.

But on the write-ins, I usually work Thursday-Saturday during the day, and Sundays a little later (I get home around 7pm, but I'm usually dead tired). Okay, so no Saturdays for you and no Sundays for me. It looks like we both have Mondays off. And heeeey... it looks like today is Monday! Do you want to give it a shot tonight, maybe at like 7pm, if you don't already have other plans? Once we see how our first write-in goes, maybe then we can determine how often we'd be willing to do that.
You prefer AIM, right?
